Thank you for your interest in supporting IJA!
This is a new section of the website, where you can find information about IJA programs and services, events, special campaigns and IJA’s financial documents and reports. Our goal is to provide easy access to all of our organizational documents for your review. We strive to steward resources diligently and always honor donor intent. Over time, we will publish more information here!
If you have any questions about IJA, our program priorities, or how to partner with us, please feel free to reach out to Shirley LaCourse Jaramillo, Fund Development Director, at shirley@indigenousjournalists.org.
Our Supporters Are Our Medicine
IJA is honored with generous donations from members and partners across the field and from all walks of life. Much like sage cleanses and makes room for growth, each donor has a role within IJA, and we honor the individual and collective gifts they bring through their support, voice and commitment to the mission. IJA’s individual donors include members, lifetime members, colleagues from across the fields of journalism, media, education and Indigenous communities across the world.
These donations help IJA provide training, fellowships, and events year-round. IJA celebrates and honors and celebrates the generosity of the 2025 year-end campaign donors:
